well if it is an Eldebrock, than it is probably a fairly new carb. The original is probably supposed to be a Rochestor Quadrajet. I think there is a Corvette web/forum that could help you to find the original carb for the application.
Maybe someone on this site has more info on this.

Edelbrock made quadrajets but discontinued them a few years ago.  The 1901 would have been the part number on the Edelbrock Quadrajet for that application....Cliff

I have every expectation the original Q-Jet would have been a "750 cfm" casting.
